Resorbable Bioinductive Collagen Implant Is Cost Effective in the Treatment of Rotator Cuff Tears.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

This study was conducted to investigate whether the use of resorbable bioinductive collagen implant (RBI) in addition to conventional rotator cuff repair (conventional RCR) is cost-effective when compared to conventional RCR alone, in the treatment of full-thickness rotator cuff tears (FT RCT).

Methods

We developed a decision analytic model to compare the expected incremental cost and clinical consequences for a cohort of patients with FT RCT. The probabilities for healing or failure to heal (retear) were estimated from the published literature. Implant and healthcare costs were estimated from a payor's perspective in 2021 U.S. prices. An additional analysis included indirect cost estimations (e.g., productivity losses). Sensitivity analyses explored the effect of te
